    I'd be interested in general to learn about more current Japanese history from this channel. In the United States, and the English side of the internet in general, there is very little outlets that really dive into Japanese history specifically - especially from a native. The few good outlets that do exist (like the History of Japan podcast) are from foreigners who really love the topic but tend to take liberties for the sake of translation. So I feel this channel could really shine from that sort of thing coming from someone like you who is educated and native.
    Of course, great videos! I love your content.

    I'm from Latvia (one of the former soviet republics) and I can share a bit of history regarding the time that my country spent under soviet occupation, as well as the situation during and after the collapse.
    starting from 1940, alongside Estonia, Lithuania and Moldova, we were occupied by the soviet union.
    During the 49 years of occupation, everyone here was subject to extensive opression. In my opinion, one of the most interesting things about this time period is that all forms of art were censored by the communist party, but poets and writers still found ways to indirectly incorporate anti-soviet messages in their work. There is also a story of a poet supposedly being pushed off of a balcony by a government agent.
    In 1985, when Mikhail Gorbachev became the general secretary of the communist party (that is how the soviet leaders were called), for some it started to become clear that the soviet union was on its way out. thanks to the increased freedom we got from Gorbachev's reforms, in 1990 a local latvian government was formed and it was declared that the soviet union had been illegally occupying Latvia. In 1989 there was an anti-soviet demonstration called the baltic way, in which about 2 million people joined hands in a 675km long chain, from Vilnius, through Riga, all the way to Tallinn. from that point onward, the soviet union lost de facto control over the baltic states. In 1991 there was also an event known as "the barricades", where in most major cities people went out on thえ streets, protested for the soviet army being brought out of Latvia, and created makeshift barricades around parlamentary buildings and broadcast centres.
    Starting from 1991 to about 1994, the country was suffering from the sudden jump from communism to extreme capitalism, and because of that, crime, poverty and unemployment were extremely high. only in the late 90s did we recover, but some of the fallout can still be seen today, such as with alcoholism, as well as with a lower standard of living and higher suicide raitings compared with other developed countries. But at the end of the day, life here isn't that bad, and the baltics are quite well-off compered to all the other former soviet republics.
    Even so, it is still my dream to move to or at least visit Japan some day.

      @@thatoneperson1577 вот ты хорошо, конечно, говоришь, что то что делает правительство - люди за это не ответственны. Да, мы тут сами боремся за то и сё и властьимущими. Но проблема в другом: ты покрывая хуями совок, одновременно срешь и на правительство и на народ. Эти вещи не отделимы, потому что когда ты говоришь soviets, люди думают о народах а не о правительствах.
      Что касается "оккупации" - во-первых, СССР поднял экономику Латвии до исторического максимума. В Латвии было машиностроение, приборостроение, а теперь в капиталистической Латвии по большому счету только производство шпрот и мелкие ит компании. Вот за это ты срешь на Россию?
      И второе - а была ли адекватная возможность в то время оставить Латвию независимой? Чтобы вы потом там установили американские ракеты, корабли у побережья для "защиты"? Шла холодная война, была реальная угроза настоящей войны. Мир разделился на 2 части. Геополитически независимая Латвия после войны была невозможна, поэтому не пиши хуйню про оккупацию.
      Все бы такие оккупанты были - сначала освобождают страну от захватчиков, а потом поднимают наукоемкую промышленность, какие же сволочи!

    From what I have read, Japan of the 1980s and Japan of the present are somewhat different. That it was the global leader in terms of technology as well as 2nd largest in terms of economy (after the US), with the notable exception of anything military. Here in India back then, Japan was viewed as some sort of a sudden and successful miracle, especially when compared to our 1850s and 1950s GDP statistics. A nation of unending parties, huge cities, trendsetter pop culture, futuristic technology, easy money and a very pleasant and relaxed lifestyle. Literally defined the 1980s for the world.
    But the same sources also point out that Japan didn't participate in the numerous Cold War conflicts around Asia at all, unless it was in the form of aid, credit or shipping.
    And then as soon as 1990 began, the Japanese asset price bubble burst, the economy went into deep long-term stagnation, it all came down and has never been the same again, or so I read.

    Thank you for these interesting videos. Believe it or not, when I was growing up, although many of these topics were in my (American) school textbooks, somehow every time we got to a chapter on Cold War related issues (including the Korean War, Vietnam War, McCarthyism, Bay of Pigs) somehow the teacher would declare the class "didn't have time" to cover them and skip to something else. They'd never come right out and say that it was controversial, but it was clear they didn't want to stir up trouble. We could read the chapters on our own, but in non-advanced classes it would not be on any test. I've been sucked into a chain of Wikipedia Asian history articles recently and realize now how little I know. Asia is most of the world and I feel like I was taught the bare minimum at school! It is strange they were sure to tell us what happened at the Rubicon but not more than a bare outline of Western, Eastern, Southern Asian history except when they might inform European events (like the affect the Russo-Japanese war had in creating discontent leading to the Russian Revolution). I think it is never too late to make up for the deficiency though.

    In my personal opinion not enough credit was given to Reagan in regards to the Soviet Union lessening it's control on it's states. They couldn't keep up with the amount of money the US was spending for an "inevitable" war which caused it's economy to begin collapsing. The people under Soviet rule weren't happy to begin with, but by gaining more and more freedoms they began pushing for more and more. Gorbachev may not have been nearly as radical as his predecessors but he was still cut from the same mold. Everything just began unraveling at the same time and his only real choices were to either lift the brutal Soviet Union regulations or double down on them. He chose the former, and because of that he gets all the credit (in my opinion), not the people who fought to end the Soviet Union.

    In my history class Japan is not really mentioned in the Cold War. It is just America vs Soviet Union and proxy war with Vietnam, China, Korea, Cuba and European countries. But I think because they were not allowed to have offensive military after WW2. My teacher used to say America's mistake was signing a deal (treaty?) to station troops in Japan because Japan did not have to worry about funding for money/wages, food, oil, and other supplies so they could instead have an economic growth. And after a while America was like "hey, you know you can have your own troops right? so we don't have to send more." and Japan was like "Nah you paid my tab already." I'm not saying Japan should have suffered or anything just that America sucks at making deals.
    That info is probably outdated but I don't know since I'm not from Japan. I believe they have Self Defense Force (JSDF) now? and I think some people even want the American bases and military gone. I could be wrong though.

    If I recall, (from what I learned as an American) Japan was just about to begin a massive economic growth period after recovering from WW2, beginning in 1966. Also the Japanese Kaiju film genre had taken over pop culture and became very successful domestically, and especially abroad. There were still some growing pains resulting from the social change that occurred post-war along with growing pains between Japan and the US in terms of Trade and Security.
    Seems to have worked out though 👍🏻 Japan began its climb to become one of the largest economies in the world, and the relationship between the US and Japan is still strong I hope. I would actually argue in favor of closer relations with Japan, and stepping back further from China.
